One thing that fascinates Android media websites, including us, just before Google I/O is what the name of the next version of Android is going to be called. With Android Lollipop done and dusted, the focus has turned to Android M, the provisional codename while we work out what dessert Google has in mind. In the meantime, we’ve got a tidbit of information that is saying that Android M is known as Macadamia Nut Cookie internally at Google, or at the very least, “mnc”, though unfortunately that probably means nothing for us.
If history has taught us anything the last few years, Google’s internal codenames never translate into commercial product names – Key Lime Pie ended up being KitKat and Lemon Meringue Pie became Lollipop. So even though references to “mnc” have been spotted in AOSP, that name will almost certainly never see the light of day unless Google decides to play a prank on us at some point. If anything, Google is more likely to cut a deal with Mars Inc. and call their next version of Android, Android Malteaser.
What do you think the official name of Android M is going to be? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
